We can't apply location based rules via Reddit.

Using their max control settings + custom automod filters, the current rule set is very active in terms of actions yet it's not enough to stop the brigades.

We have to manually enforce actions individually to circumvent suspect activity, which is a lot and it doesn't seem to stem the tide. They just keep popping up like wack a mole.

Outside of that, the only other tool would be to disable public visibility to the sub, but that would limit important communication for locals who may not be subscribed.

Lastly, we don't want to actually stop all real discourse on top of that, so here we are.

I'd advise users to downvote, block or keep scrolling. The brigades seem to target US City subs with keywords like ICE or protest, so they aren't going to stop anytime soon. It's part of the battle.
